Grand Coulee Dam is truly magnificent to behold. Built from 1933 to 1975, it is 550 feet tall, from the 500 foot wide polished granite base, to the 30 foot wide crest which supports a paved two lane road. When you include the third power house, Grand Coulee Dam is almost 1 mile long. Did you know there is enough concrete in the Grand Coulee Dam to build a 60 foot wide highway four inches thick, from Los Angeles to New York City! ~ That is a 4 lane Highway 3,000 miles long.

I'm as equally impressed with this view and I was with the other. Love that green grass. You'll have to excuse me that one. I'm starved for the sight of truly green grass!!

I like the parallel lines between the sidewalk and the dam.

Thats an impressive dam! Good to see green power been provided by it. Good long focal length, but the dam wall seems a little out of focus, and it's a little grainy in the top left corner. Still, I prefer to see the GREEN grass. I seem to have forgotten what that looks like!
Thanks!
